<h1>Prompts preferences</h1>
<p>Any report can contain prompts. A prompt is a question presented to 
 the user who runs the report. Depending on the answers the user provides, 
 the report brings back and displays different data from the data source.</p>
<p>Answering a prompted report differently each time it is executed is 
 one way to ensure that a report is executed against your data source and 
 displays the most recent data. This is because different prompt answers 
 usually require different data than what is stored in the report&rsquo;s 
 cache. </p>
<p>The Prompts preferences page lets you select whether to display all 
 of your prompts on one or multiple pages in your reports. </p>
<p>To access preferences, from the menu at the top of MicroStrategy Web 
 select <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Preferences</B></span><span>, then 
 click </span><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Prompts</B></span><span>. </span></p>

<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>All on one page</B></span>: 
 All of the prompt information is downloaded and displayed on one page 
 and all prompts are shown at the same time. You can move from one prompt 
 to another by clicking the navigation links on the prompts. </p></li>
